He is visiting the UI in conjunction with a luncheon program sponsored by the Advertising Federation of Cedar Rapids, which will be held on Sept. 22 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cedar Rapids. Loeb will share his insights on 10 trends in the new global economy and how these trends will impact business owners.
